When I was invited to speak to 120 high school teenagers and share with them the basic principles of Treasure mapping, Vision boards, effective goal setting and understanding the law of attraction, I must admit I was a little anxious.
How would I get the message across succinctly, clearly and powerfully? What was the best way to to inspire, motivate and activate these young adults, to set goals, understand and believe they can achieve their dreams ?
After careful consideration, I decided, I could teach them through a powerful and simple 4 step formula:
1. Goal: Know what you want.
The clearest way to get this point across, was to ask the kids if they ever went into a restaurant and ask for food because they were hungry. They laughed. They knew that when you order food, you order specifically what you want! Right? Who goes into a restaurant and says “I’m really hungry, just give me anything..” But how many of us ask that of the Universe! I am lonely I want someone to love, I need a job, any job... but when we aren’t specific in requesting what we want, we are actually leaving it to other people to decide what we receive. and then we blame them for not fulfilling our needs, wants and desires. Its not their fault, if you don’t ask specifically for what you want!
Did you know, most people don’t have what they want because:
1) They don’t know what they want.
2) They no longer believe its possible or
3) They don’t believe they deserve to have it.
2. Clear Picture: Your powerful creative mind works in pictures.
Creating a Treasure Map/Vision board is an incredibly powerful tool for getting what you want. Your powerful subconscious mind only works in pictures and will do whatever it can to bring YOU, your most predominant thoughts and feeling and belief systems, but it only relates to pictures. So if you have a goal make sure you have a clear PICTURE , not just written goals. If you write “picnic” and list all the details of a great picnic and your subconscious mind remembers the picnics at the beach with sand in the potato salad, soggy sandwiches, bugs, flies and no bathrooms? What sort of results do you think you will get?
And then we wonder why we don’t get our goals, or the law of attraction isn’t working. It is working, but its attracting the pictures that are already in your “old filing system” instead of what your think you currently want.
With a Treasure map/ Vision board your subconscious mind will change its course and bring you what is on your map, not what is stored in its memory banks. You will overwrite the old non supportive programs. Your past will no longer automatically create your future.
3. Beliefs: “You’ll see it when you believe it” - Wayne Dyer
Your belief systems give you exactly what you believe you deserve. If you want to know what you really believe, look at your life! Your subconscious mind always gives you exactly what you believe.
If you want something other than what you currently have, you will need to reprogram your subconscious mind. The most efficient way to to this is to:
1) Create a Treasure Map/vision board with the goals, dreams and desires you want.
2) Look at it and celebrate it for 30 days. Like attracts like. What you see in your mind and feel in your body you will soon see and experience in your life. Always visualize your desired result as if it has already been accomplished.
3) Now, you have programed your subconscious mind and it will bring you your new beliefs.
4. Action to Success: “NEVER, NEVER, Never Give up!” - Winston Churchill!
This very famous phrase needs to be updated. Nowadays, we understand how the mind and brain work and we know that we must give our subconscious mind, the command stated in the positive. We have to state what we want, not what we don’t want.
Your subconscious mind doesn’t hear /see the qualifying word, (never, cant, don't) and only moves in a forward direction. Can you see a picture of “never give up?” No, in order to do so, your mind will see the picture of giving up before you can imagine NOT giving up. The better more effective and powerful way to say “never give up”, is to say:
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS KEEP GOING UNTIL YOU SUCCEED.
So many people start out enthusiastically towards their goals, but soon give up, when the going gets a little tough and again, they blame the situations, circumstances and anything, except the fact that they just Gave Up! If you take action and persist and continue till you succeed, you will find the journey to your goals, dreams and desires will be shorter and easier. The difference between a winner and a lose is, as loser falls down once and stays down. The winner falls 7 times and gets up 8.
You know what you want, you have a Treasure map, a clear picture of your goal, you believe its IT IS possible and all you have to do is keep going and persist untill you succeed.
Enjoy this 4 step formula and share it with your FAMILY AND FRIENDS today.
